I always get the error on postgres sql can anyone help me
ERROR: Syntaxerror in „(“ LINE 4: Liga_Nr int(1),
^
********** ERROR **********
ERROR: Syntaxerror in „(“ SQL Status:42601 Symbol:79
Here is my code
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Liga;
Create Table Liga(
Verband varchar(90),
Liga_Nr int(1),
PRIMARY KEY(Liga_Nr)
);
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Spiel;
CREATE Table Spiel(
);
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Verein;
CREATE Table Verein(
);
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Spieler;
CREATE Table Spieler(
PRIMARY KEY(Spieler_ID)
);
Integer types don't accept a parameter. The correct code is:
Create Table Liga(
Verband varchar(90),
Liga_Nr int,
PRIMARY KEY(Liga_Nr)
);
If you want to store a small number, use smallint. You can read about numeric types here.

I have an exercises table with this schema:
CREATE TABLE exercises
(
id INTEGER NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
workoutID INTEGER NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (workoutID) REFERENCES workouts(id)
);
I want to delete the column workoutID but it won't let me delete it:
sqlite> ALTER TABLE exercises DROP workoutID;
Error: near "DROP": syntax error
Upon realizing I need to remove the constraints first I try:
sqlite> ALTER TABLE exercises DROP CONSTRAINT workoutID;
Error: near "DROP": syntax error
I followed this question to the letter: How to drop column with constraint?
But it doesn't work for me.
I can start over by dropping the whole table if I have to but I want to learn why this isn't working for me.
Any help and explanation is greatly appreciated.
I have a primary key column in my SQL table in PostgreSQL named "id". It is a "bigseries" column. I want to convert the column to a "UUID" column. It entered the below command in the terminal:
alter table people alter column id uuid;
and
alter table people alter column id uuid using (uuid_generate_v4());
but neither of them worked.
In both tries I got the error message
ERROR: syntax error at or near "uuid"
LINE 1: alter table people alter column id uuid using (uuid_generate...
What is the correct syntax?
First of all uuid_generate_v4() is a function which is provided by an extension called uuid-ossp. You should have install that extension by using;
CREATE EXTENSION uuid-ossp;
Postgresql 13 introduced a new function which does basically the same without installing extension. The function is called gen_random_uuid()
Suppose that we have a table like the one below;
CREATE TABLE people (
id bigserial primary key,
data text
);
The bigserial is not a real type. It's a macro which basically creates bigint column with default value and a sequence. The default value is next value of that sequence.
For your use case, to change data type, you first should drop the old default value. Then, alter the type and finally add new default value expression. Here is the sample:
ALTER TABLE people
ALTER id DROP DEFAULT,
ALTER id TYPE uuid using (gen_random_uuid() /* or uuid_generate_v4() */ ),
ALTER id SET DEFAULT gen_random_uuid() /* or uuid_generate_v4() */ ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS people (
id uuid NOT NULL CONSTRAINT people_pkey PRIMARY KEY,
address varchar,
city varchar(255),
country varchar(255),
email varchar(255),
phone varchar(255)
);
This is the correct syntax to create table in postgres SQL, it's better to do these constraints at beginning to avoid any error.
For using alter command you would do the following:
ALTER TABLE customer ADD COLUMN cid uuid PRIMARY KEY;
Most of errors that you could find while writing command either lower case or undefined correct the table name or column.
i have tried to create a table using if not exists using mysql in sql plus, but i got error
SQL> CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tasks (

3 task_id int);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tasks (

ERROR at line 1:

You message indicates that you are using Oracles SQL PLUSand not mysql.,
so use
CREATE TABLE tasks (

task_id NUMBER(5)
);
Please check the manual, for more information
This is my first time producing a script which I can run through the psql terminal using the -f option.
My script is as follows:
DROP TABLE if EXISTS piste;
DROP TABLE if EXISTS lift;
DROP TABLE if EXISTS lift_location;
CREATE TABLE piste (
piste_name varchar(30) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
grade varchar(10) NOT NULL,
length decimal NOT NULL,
fall smallint NOT NULL,
open boolean NOT NULL,
);
INSERT INTO piste (name, grade, length, fall, open) VALUES
('test name', 'easy', 3.2, 400, true);
This produces the following error:
psql:create_tables.sql:22: NOTICE: table "piste" does not exist, skipping
DROP TABLE
psql:create_tables.sql:23: NOTICE: table "lift" does not exist, skipping
DROP TABLE
psql:create_tables.sql:24: NOTICE: table "lift_location" does not exist, skipping
DROP TABLE
psql:create_tables.sql:33: ERROR: syntax error at or near ")"
LINE 8: );
^
psql:create_tables.sql:36: ERROR: relation "piste" does not exist
LINE 1: INSERT INTO piste (name, grade, length, fall, open) VALUES
Does anybody know what is causing this? From what I can see, the table "piste" is created before I try to insert so how can it say it does not exist?
Thanks,
Chris.
This error:
psql:create_tables.sql:33: ERROR: syntax error at or near ")"
LINE 8: );
Tells you that the table is not created.
You have a dangling comma , inside your create table (after the last column). Remove that and you should be fine.
The comma at the end generates the error message:
open boolean NOT NULL,
The other messages are NOTICEs not errors. They just tell you that they didn't drop the table as they did not exist
I am getting strange errors while trying to create a simple database using isql tools from the Firebird package.
The same code for creating a table works for other tables with other names.
I've tried with and without quotes surrounding fields and table names, no success.
It is Firebird 2.5 server version.

I don't get why it's impossible to create the first table "RULES" although the commands are similar to other tables.
Even without all the triggers and foreign keys (alter table..) I am getting at leaast the last error.
it says "Unknown columns in index FK_LINK_FRL_FS" but no mention of other similar indexing tables.
I am just starting working with databases and it could be that I missed or mixed something,
but I tried to compile with too many changes and still getting errors.
I've found more or less similar code here
http://sergworks.wordpress.com/category/firebird/
and I was able to compile it without problems.
Could somebody point me in the right direction or show how it is done in another way?
You have an unnessesary comma in the end of the PK constraint:
CONSTRAINT PK_RULE_ID
PRIMARY KEY (RULE_ID),
So the parser expexts definition of field or constraint but it finds ")". Delete the comma and you should be OK.
